Slide Gates
The The slide slide gate gate (or (or guillotine) guillotine) is is an an isolation isolation device device for for FGD FGD flue flue duct duct applications applications which which can can be be supplied supplied in in low low leak leak and and zero zero leak leak designs. designs. The The low low leak leak design design is is primarily primarily used when a small amount of flue gas leakage used when a small amount of flue gas leakage past past the the closed slide gate can be tolerated. Typical leakage closed slide gate can be tolerated. Typical leakage can can vary vary from from a a few few percent percent to to less less than than one one percent percent of of flow flow depending depending on on the the type type of of seal seal system system provided. provided. The The zero zero leak leak design design is is used used when when zero zero flue flue gas gas leakage leakage past past the the closed closed slide slide gate gate is is required. required. Zero Zero leakage leakage is is achieved achieved by pressurizing the seal chamber located around the periphery of the closed blade closed blade with with seal seal air. air.

Expansion Joints
EFLEX expansion joints incorporate the latest advancements in fabric composition and materials technology. EFFOX can provide EFLEX Expansion Joints factory mounted to our dampers, minimizing field installation costs and problems associated with mismatched flanges.

Louvers
The The louver louver can can be be used used for for control control or or isolation isolation capability capability in in FGD FGD flue flue duct duct applications. applications. The The single, single, parallel parallel louver louver is is used used primarily for low primarily for low leak leak isolation. isolation. The The use use of of blade blade edge edge and and jamb jamb seals seals achieves achieves minimal minimal flue flue gas gas leakage leakage past past the the closed closed parallel parallel louver. louver. Typical Typical leakage can be leakage can be less less than than one percent depending one percent depending on on the the damper damper size size and and system system conditions. conditions. The The single, single, opposed opposed louver louver is is used used for for control. control. The The double double louver louver design design utilizes utilizes two two banks banks of of louver louver blades. blades. Zero Zero flue flue gas gas leakage leakage is is achieved achieved by by pressurizing pressurizing the the area area between between the the two two closed closed banks banks of of blades blades with with seal seal air. air. Zero Zero leakage leakage can can also also be be achieved achieved with with a a single single louver louver design design known known as as the the tandem tandem louver. louver.
